Posted in: Oops Didn't I Choose?


I was planning to catch up on some vacation stuff but this lovely purse arrived today. It’s from Alice over at Futuregirl and it definitely takes precedence. It’s a seamless crochet purse. It is BEAUTIFUL!! I love the colors she chose. It’s like she read my mind. When I first opened up the package I actually twirled around with the purse in my hands like I had a new dress on. :) And throughout the day I have repeatedly picked it up just to look at it.

She even made a matching keychain!

Here are closeups of the birds.


And the bird cage fabric for the lining…wonderful!

And look at the handstitched “label”. Awww couldn’t you scream, it’s so beautiful! And the decorative stitch on the top seam of the lining…AWWWWW!!!!


Alan is probably happy to have gone to work because I could have happily shown him this beautiful creation over and over. In fact I probably did. Look Alan! Did you see it? It’s beautiful! Repeat over and over and him saying, Yes honey, I saw it.

I feel so fortunate to have received this, Alice. Thank you so very much! It is truly a work of art.

And soon she’ll be selling them!! How exciting!!
